Ep. 9: Dominance & Control (2 of 3)
In the second installment of this series, Andrew Reed goes over the second leg of his album Dominance & Control, talking about "World, I Have Won!", "Triumph", and "King of Things, Lord of More". Reed goes over his early prog rock roots, discusses the theatrical studio sessions and talks about the journey of “Rock Star Caesar,” our main character. This episode unpacks how consumerism, excess, and ego blur our ability to be present and fulfilled. A must-listen for artists, seekers, and anyone reflecting on the cycles of power, achievement, and desire.
